More Information:

Emu Egg Batik and etching on a base with Emu meat nutritional value.

Each of the lines is showing the color of a layer of the egg shell; In the case of the Emu, from the darkest to the lightest. Here the background is actually the last layer exposed.

The design is done with melted wax to resist the subsequent acid etching.

Unlike painting where the artist sees what is being done, in batik the colors are also protected with wax once applied. Therefore, the artist does not see the colors combination. It is only when the whole wax is finally removed that the design is unveiled.
